>From my limited understanding on SB devices support as Roon endpoints (due to not enough information from RoonLabs): - You need to subscribe to Roon service and install Roon Core server (annual or lifetime subscription, not free !). - Only Mac and Win versions available. Headless Linux version are on the way but no timeline and due to Roon server requirements on CPU and RAM only very few powerfull NAS will be compatible. - SB devices support (SB3, Touch, Boom ...) is only one way: SB devices as "passive" endpoints for Roon audio streams, no control and commands (i hope some "now playing" metadata on SB screens but not sure). So it's not a real SB ecossystem alternative but however very usefull for people using Roon and SB devices (and squeezelite). I'm a long time LMS / SB user and i will continue to use it in parallel with Roon due to some SB ecosystem capabilities not supported in Roon (mainly radio support and some others functions available via plugins) More to come when RoonLabs released the new SB compatible version (i hope in 2015 :eek:) Some limited informations are available on this this thread https://community.roonlabs.com/t/squeezebox-support/1043 Regards SqueezeBoxServer 7.9 / ReadyNas Pro (x86) | SBTouch - SB3 - Duet - Boom - Ipeng SBTouch => Rega DAC => Rega Brio R amp => Harbeth SLH5 speakers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ volpone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16531 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104044 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
